hi guys, can this be used as global site search or is this something else? The global search was removed in a previous version and for all I can find it has not been replaced. Do you have any suggestions for decent global search, if one exists, as it says here on moodle.org that the global search was to be rewritten for version 2.4 but there is no mention of it in the release notes. Running 2.2 by the way. cheers. Steve

Aparup is right. This is not a global site search but rather a course search. It can search into any modules, even third party modules, as long as the third party modules follow Moodle coding guidlines which have a name filed and intro or content field.

Hi! I am testing this out on our test server. I really like the concept. Is there a way to have it be more robust in what it searches - I'd love it to search forum content, content within an activity...It seems to just bring up main search content and I think this would be ultimately frustrating for students...please advise if there is a way to tweak it.
